Call for Proposals from ALSC’s Education Committee

Program Proposals Now Being Accepted for the Association for Library Service to Children Education Committee

The ALSC Education Committee is now accepting proposals for innovative programs for continuing education opportunities for their members. ALSC committees, members, and other interested individuals are encouraged to submit a proposal (ALSC membership is not required). Be part of this exciting professional development opportunity by submitting your program today!

​Presentations should provide a valuable learning experience and avoid being too limited in scope. Topics of particular interest based on ALSC member feedback include:

• Age-specific programming suggestions

 

• Current issues in Intellectual Freedom

 

• Working in Children’s Services as a new librarian

 

• Diversity Equity and Inclusion (including accessibility, disability and cultural inclusion)

 

• Advocacy (both professional and community-focused)

 

• Grant Work

 

• Research/Best Practices

 

• Early Literacy

 

• SEL-based collection development

 

• Self-care in challenging times

 

• Administration and management

 

• Partnerships

 
Please note that participants attending ALSC programs are seeking valuable educational experiences; the Education Committee will not select a program session that suggests commercial sales or self-promotion. A presenter stipend is available.
 
Proposals are accepted and reviewed on an ongoing basis. To submit a program proposal for the ALSC Education Committee, please visit the ALSC website for the submission form and instructions: https://www.ala.org/alsc/elearning
